What I learned on Tarama Island
Today is finally the final episode of Tarama Island!
~Tarama Island's rumored tiger sharks~
~Tarama Island, the pristine sea~
No way, I can't believe a trip that's only two days and one night has been dragged out like this! Well, that's because I have a lot of free time at my job. (｡-ܫ-｡) Mmhmm♥
I've been doing things like getting my body serviced and painting the walls of the shop, but I'm running out of material for the blog... So please be kind and watch over me with your open hearts.
I mainly dived during the day on Tarama Island, so I can't think of anything in particular to write about, but at night, the island showed off its untouched nature! ∑(｀∀ﾟ´*)ﾉｫ!!!
The stars are more beautiful than Miyakojima!!
First of all, while I was strolling around, I passed by a harbor and the sea fireflies were incredible!! The spectacle of them constantly sparkling was like a starry sky!! And just like that, the sky was filled with stars in real life.
It's hard to see on a smartphone, so please try viewing it on a PC. It's a full sky, right?! The hazy glow is the light of Miyakojima! I was impressed that you can see the lights even though you can't see the island. Does that mean Tarama is that dark?
How to play because you have a lot of time
I enjoyed my evening walk like that, and just when I thought there wasn't anything else to do, I thought of a camera game I had come across while surfing the internet the other day.
This isn't a composite! It's my own handwriting. I had to redo it about 10 times to get it to this point! It's quite fun! If you want to try it, just ask me!
So our BIG HOLIDAY came to an end with a very satisfying result. Before I knew it, the blog had strayed far from the direction of a diving shop blog and had become just a personal travel blog!!! Hooray for mixing business with pleasure!
Let's do our best again tomorrow!
However, I feel like this trip has really boosted my confidence. Why? Because it was my first ever fun diving experience. I felt like I was following along, not knowing what I would be happy to have done, and not being introduced to anything particularly unusual, but rather being introduced to the "Tarama Island-ness" to the fullest.
And the pure enjoyment of diving and the satisfaction that was greater than the money I paid was the biggest benefit, and it made me realize that I wanted my guests to experience this feeling at home. Jaws 2, the only diving shop on Tarama Island, offers unrivaled high quality without any rivals. I should follow their example! Thank you for reading this long article.
See you tomorrow!
